| I found an AW2 speedrun video on youtube. For the most part, the person playing won by quick HQ captures. However, there is one mission that made me LOL. We're all familiar with the BM mission "Two Weeks" right? I can say without a doubt that everyone who played that mission thought "Infantry meat shield spam!" The person playing the speedrun, however, thought differently. He did.......nothing. Literally, nothing. He pretty much let Lash have fun for those 14 turns.
So how did he win? The person exploited two factors of AW. The first is that you can not lose by rout if you have no units to start with. The second is bad AI programming. The HQ was as unguarded as it can be, and Lash chose to capture the basses instead. Not only that but she placed a Mid Tank on top of the HQ and did not move it for the rest of the mission.
If you don't believe me, here is the video. Note: the video is over an hour long. If you have a slow computer, you may want to be careful.

| Two-Week Test starts at around the 30-minute mark.
That is pretty LOL. Of course you have to do more than that if you want 300 points. Anyways, as I've stated in one of my joke map threads, you can't lose if you never build a unit. | |

| Yeah, the score was only 100. With no units, he got 0 on power and technique. | |
